And the winners are:
1st pull- DarkWynter
2nd pull- DarkWynter
3rd pull- Normus
4th pull- Goofateer (runner-up)

DarkWynter has passed on his second figure.  Check out the story:

Quote

I was very tempted to take both my draws.....but I will pass the second draw. I told SilverWynter [his daughter] if we got one I'd request the custom for her. When I told her the situation she was excited, then calmed down and thoughtfully informed me that we have enough toys. I am humbled by this and can't take both.

Thanks to both DarkWynter and SilverWynter for their kindness.

Also, thanks to all that participated in the raffle!  I was able to raise $230 toward my trip.  You all have been a blessing to me.
